Letter from the Editor

 As the last days of summer creep by for some and fly by for others, this month can be a bit of a mixed bag. The frenzy of summer vacations and PCS moves are coming to an end and as the kids’ head back to school, you likely will shift into a new routine. 

 Paying homage to this unique time of year, we are sharing a great article for military families looking to pack in the last of the summer fun on a budget and tips for settling into your new home after a PCS move. Find both of these articles below as well as an additional article with great information for our veterans who are using their VA benefits to purchase a home. Many that use this benefit may not be aware of a stipulation that could save you thousands on your mortgage payments. 

You_Gotta_Laugh_Funny_PCS_Stories

We have been sharing our great PCS resources with you over the past couple of months and we are going out with a bang as we share, "Yes It Really Did Happen! Funny PCS Stories", because we all know that having a sense of humor is the key to surviving military relocation. 

If you have a home advertised with us that has rented or sold, we kindly ask you to take a moment to update the status of your ad or to contact us so that we may assist you. We pride ourselves in keeping our site as up-to-date as possible but we must rely on our customers to make the necessary changes to their advertisements

We are thrilled to introduce our new business advertisers to you this month and we encourage you to utilize the services of these military-friendly businesses that are eager to help ease the stress of military relocation. If you are interested in advertising your services, please contact us. We would love to work with you to reach this unique niche market. 

Enjoy the last of the lazy days of summer! Before you know it we will be talking about winter home maintenance and wishing you Happy Holidays!

I strive to build positive business relationships. I know how valuable word of mouth is and I am fully dedicated to building your trust and ensuring that you do not feel like just another transaction. I understand how stressful military life can be and will do what I can to make this process as smooth as possible. I am a military spouse to my wonderful veteran for nearly 10 years. We currently are stationed in the Ft Hood area. When we finally got word that we will be here for the next few years and I was anxious to grow roots in Central Texas and build my real estate career. I love what I do and and will ensure you have a pleasant experience during the whole process before during and after closing. I look forward to working with you while gaining your trust and earning your future referrals.4B1FE9B0E7844C08ABE266E429C6EB73
